Using a Sponge
You can paint pictures with a sponge. Dip it in wet paint and touch it to the paper lightly. Notice that sponge marks look different from paintbrush marks. Now try pressing the sponge down hard. Then try rubbing it on the paper. Then try twisting the sponge as you press down on it.

Use Different Kinds of Paper
Rough paper or bumpy paper will make your paintings look different. Try painting on a rough paper towel, or on the ripply side of a cardboard carton, or on the scratchy side of an old piece of sandpaper.
